Hoda announced the arrival of her daughter by calling into the Today show on Tuesday, Feb. 21. "I do have something to tell you," she told her co-stars. "But, you know what, how about this — instead of telling you, I'm going to show you something. Do you have a picture you can put up for me?"

As the first photo of Hoda holding her adorable infant daughter flashed across the screen she exclaimed, "It's a baby girl!"

"That little girl, Haley Joy… I'm crying… is my daughter! I adopted her," Hoda said while holding back tears on the phone. "She's a [Valentine's Day] baby, so she's a little nugget… She is the love of my life."
